Oh my only a month left.
Techshop laser class: I know, I already did a laser cutter class but Techshop is much more concerned with how their equipment is used than your usual hackerspace, and hence whatever previous experience I have is null and void. Which is a good thing, because my previous experience pretty much adds up to... null and void. Essentially. The class was very straight forward, and was geared towards people that would never set foot in a hackerspace.

One of my friends floated the writing of a serial fairy tale to his Facebook (which was met with much enthusiasm) which he was publicly announcing so it would actually get started, and I got a 30 minute story idea too good to not write down (or too terrible to mention, depending on how you like your puns). So without further ado:

It would have been a wonderful day for flying; well, if she weren't out for revenge.

Hit the teens! Almost only a month left, gotta go faster go faster go faster.
At the SVI hackathon, I ran a web server from my phone. Since this is obviously the pinnacle of my life, I can die happy Went to a SF Symphony Concert. Solo cellist was less than spectacular despite his credentials, but the orchestra killed Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony, in a good way. Now I'm seriously considering hitting the SF again, for a dual Four Seasons concert (people seem to enjoy doing those?

Ho boy
More Rigging! I swear, I'll start animating in earnest... now Less wrong and Happy hour! Really, these are becoming regular events I saw 2 folding bikes! Exciting, although they were better brands than mine (Dahon). I also swear that I’ll be putting out that bike review soon…
Yeah, not much noteworthy happened this week. Though, Stay tuned.

Happy halfway point!
Rigging! (forever and ever) posted some silly videos to my youtube account Biked around Google's main campus, was terrible at DDR, and drank fancy grape soda. Oh, and discovered that Chromebooks are nicely built, like a really nice netbook. I mean, matte screen? MIND BLOWN Less Wrong Meetup! Missed the butter eating contest (I kid you not) Hacker Dojo Happy Hour! Super Happy Dev House! (notice a trend here?

Another week, another update.
Mistake! There will actually be 16 of these, since I’m a dumb and didn’t actually count out the weeks, despite any piece of calendering software making this trivial.
Hackathon! That was in a kind of weird format! (really, what hackathon goes for barely 8 hours?) No corporate endorsements! No draws! But we still made progress on Multipong! (Yup, multiplayer pong) Twilio "hack"! Read all about it! So this week I didn’t really do anything.
